Upside For Radulov

[donmario]

Do you think he is a legit 1st liner and first PP?

What do u think his point potential this upcoming year is?

thanks

This guy hurt me in a points-based league this year. He was so dominant in the Q that some of that talent should be utilized in the NHL. If he gets 18 minutes a game then I see him getting 75+ points. However, with the Preds in fire-sale mode you never know how a player will respond to that on the ice. I'd only draft him late in a deep league just in case he doesn't like up to his potential (like Zherdev so far) and because 70+ point players are somewhat easy to find even in deep leagues.

I think he'll be a 1st liner in the future, dunno about this year.

Rougly PPG give or take.

Assuming he will play on the second line with Martin Erat and David Legwand, I'd say the roof's 45-23-68 for this kid.

I wouldn't say the Preds are or were in "firesale" mode, and a big reason Kariya was allowed to walk was because the team feels that Radulov is ready for an increased role(well, and he wanted an absurd 6 million a year).

Radulov was the best player on the ice for either team for the first couple of games of the playoffs...absolutely dominant...and I expect a very big year for him.

I hope so, I've got him in my league.
